Sateri was taken in the fourth round of the 2008 NHL Entry Draft by the San Jose Sharks. He has spent four seasons with the AHL Worcester Sharks and never ended up playing in the NHL. Mon, May 19, 2014 06:24:00 PM

Harri Sateri is projected to challenge Alex Stalock for San Jose's No. 2 goalie position this campaign.

"To say that Alex has the inside edge on Harri would be unfair to both of them," Sharks coach Todd McLellan said. "We know where [Antti Niemi] stands, and he looks good. Nemo can't play 82 games, and it's not a lockout season, so whoever wins that other job will get a chance to play and really establish themselves in the league." Sateri and Stalock split starts in the AHL last year with Worcester. Mon, Sep 9, 2013 06:03:00 PM

The San Jose Sharks have re-signed minor league goalie Harri Sateri to a one-year deal.

No terms were announced. Sateri spent time in the AHL in 2012-13 as he split the net with Alex Stalock. The former fourth round pick in the 2008 Draft, Sateri was 14-21-3 with a 2.89 GAA and a .903 save percentage last season. Sateri is only 23, so he still has time to make it in the NHL.

Thornton now has 1,354 career points, giving him sole possession of 25th place on the all-time list ahead of Brendan Shanahan. Thornton's gotten that far through his ability to perform like a star player deep into his 30s. He's reached the 60-point mark in 15 campaigns and the 70-point milestone in 12 seasons.

He had a minor surgical procedure on Saturday to remove one of the screws in his ankle that had been bothering him. Couture had six screws put in last year after he suffered a fractured fibula at the ankle on Oct. 15, 2015. He didn't skate Tuesday, but he was back on the ice Wednesday morning and feels good to go.

Patrick Marleau scored his sixth goal of the season, with only 22.5 seconds left in regulation, to give San Jose a 3-2 win over the Islanders on Friday.

With the tally the career-Shark now has seven points in 21 games this season. He sits just 13 goals shy of 500 for his career, which considering his 11.1 shooting percentage, he just might reach before season's end.

Tierney was in his second NHL campaign at the time, but scored a solid four goals and nine points in 24 postseason contests. "I thought I was going to be a little more nervous going into the playoffs than I was, but once you get playing it kind of feels like you’re just playing another game. … I think I just got more confident every series that I could go up against [Anze] Kopitar, or [Ryan] Johansen, or [Alex] Steen, [Jori] Lehtera or [Vladimir] Tarasenko," he said. After recording 20 points in the 2015-16 regular season, he has two goals and eight points in 25 games this season.

Tomas Hertl will be out for weeks after undergoing successful knee surgery.

There was no structural damage and that has to be good news for the forward. GM Doug Wilson said that the surgery "is almost like an internal bracing, so it’s not repairing anything." The Sharks are hoping this will halt any further knee problems for the 23-year-old. Look elsewhere for now for your fantasy team and reserve Hertl.

Joel Ward scored the game winner at 14:42 in the first period as the San Jose Sharks beat Chicago Blackhawks 2-1 Wednesday night.

Ward’s shot came as the Sharks skated shorthanded and it gave them a two-goal lead as the first period ended. Logan Couture scored the first goal of the night on a power play a little more than three minutes earlier. Don’t expect a lot of production in the next several games, however; this was only the second goal of the season and the first since October 15th. Ward has played in 17 games since.

Joonas Donskoi's production isn't at the level many hoped for following his strong postseason showing.

Donskoi had six goals and 12 points in 24 playoff contests last year, but the 24-year-old sophomore now has just two goals and eight points in 25 games this season. Sharks coach Pete DeBoer isn't too worried though as he likes the consistent effort Donskoi has brought to the table in 2016-17. The bench boss feels that eventually the points will start coming in for him as well. Donskoi seems to be seeing the upside as well. "I’m pretty happy the way I’m playing two ways," Donskoi said. "I think I’m responsible defensively and creating scoring chances, but just kind of not being able to get on the scoreboard enough. … I feel confident the way I’m still playing. I’m not getting frustrated, or anything."

Brent Burns tied Wednesday night’s competition at the 6:30 minute mark of the third period, but two unanswered goals shifted to momentum to give the Ottawa Senators a 4-2 victory over the San Jose Sharks.

The defenseman Burns recorded five shots on goal in the game, which was second only to the forward Joe Pavelski. Burns has proved that the best defense is a good offence 23 times this season with his 11th goal scored Wednesday night and 12 prior assists.

Vlasic left Saturday's game with an undisclosed injury but apparently all is well as he was back at practice Monday. Vlasic refused to comment on the injury but said all is well now. "I’m OK today," Vlasic said. "It happened two days ago. I’m looking forward to tomorrow." He has three goals and seven points this season in 22 games and should be in your lineup in most pools.

Paul Martin potted a pair of helpers during Friday's 3-2 win over the Islanders.

Martin has seven points, all assists, in 21 games so far this season. He may not be an elite fantasy player but he's on pace surpass 20 points for the first time since 2012-13 when he had, wait for it..23!

Justin Braun earned an assist on Thursday in a 4-2 win against Pittsburgh.

Braun logged 25:01 of ice time in the match, mostly against Sidney Crosby's line, alongside Marc-Edouard Vlasic. His shot from the point was deflected in front by Logan Couture. Braun has seven points in the postseason, including two goals and one helper in the Stanley Cup Final.

Brenden Dillon is expected to play on a pairing with David Schlemko this season.

After the Sharks acquired Roman Polak from the Maple Leafs last season, he and Dillon formed a physical pairing for the Sharks. Now, with Polak gone, it sounds like Dillon and Schlemko will have an opportunity to play together. The Sharks signed Schlemko this summer after he played the last season in New Jersey. Expect this to be a solid defensive pairing, but neither player will provide much in terms of standard fantasy value.

Jones has played well over his last five games, sandwiching a loss around three wins with just nine goals against. He's already 1-1 with just four goals against on 46 shots versus the Ducks this season, and has been far stingier against familiar foes overall.
